BYD and Gentari sign MoU to deploy Flash Charging technology in Malaysia
By Eve
PETRONAS-owned Gentari and BYD Malaysia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore deploying BYD's Flash Charging infrastructure in Malaysia. The technology can deliver approximately 400 kilometres of range in five minutes and charge from 10% to 97% in nine minutes for compatible vehicles. Malaysia recorded 53,537 EV registrations in the first nine months of 2026, a 98.8% increase year on year, while the government targets 30,000 public charging points nationwide by 2030.
Why it matters
The MoU brings ultra-fast charging hardware to a market where Gentari already operates around 600 of its 18,000 APAC charging points, positioning both parties to capture share as Malaysia scales towards its 2030 infrastructure goal. BYD's rollout pace in China, where 10,000 Flash Charging stations were live by September 2026 with more than 30 hubs installed daily, signals potential deployment speed for Malaysian CPOs and site hosts.

BYD to launch Denza N8 EV with 623 mile range and 1,500 kW flash charging
BYD is set to launch the Denza N8 EV next week, a five seat luxury electric SUV with a CLTC range of 623 miles (1,003 km) using a 130.15 kWh battery and second generation Blade Batteries. The vehicle features BYD's 1,500 kW Flash Charging Technology, which can charge from 10% to 70% in five minutes and 10% to 97% in nine minutes. The Denza N8 EV will be available in single rear wheel drive or tri motor all wheel drive configurations, with the RWD version offering either 320 kW or 370 kW motors, according to a regulatory filing from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in August.
Why it matters
The Denza N8 EV's ultra fast charging capability and extended range could set new benchmarks for charging infrastructure requirements, potentially driving demand for higher power charging installations. CPOs and equipment suppliers may need to evaluate compatibility with BYD's 1,500 kW charging standard as the technology enters the market.
BYD launches second generation Seagull EV in China from $9,900 with five minute Flash Charging
BYD has released its new Seagull electric hatchback in China, priced from 65,900 yuan to 99,900 yuan ($9,900 to $15,000) across five variants, down from the first generation's 69,900 yuan ($10,500). The second generation model features Blade Battery 2.0 with five minute Flash Charging capability, a longer 4,205 mm body with 2,650 mm wheelbase accommodating five passengers, and a more powerful rear wheel drive setup using 85 kW (114 hp) or 95 kW (127 hp) motors compared to the previous 55 kW (75 hp) front wheel drive configuration. The vehicle is sold as the Dolphin Surf and Dolphin Mini in Europe and the UK.
Why it matters
The sub $10,000 price point and rapid charging capability set a new benchmark for affordable EVs that could accelerate mass market adoption and increase demand for fast charging infrastructure. CPOs and site hosts should monitor whether similar ultra affordable models with high power charging reach Western markets, potentially requiring network capacity planning adjustments.
Servotech launches 360 kW Dynamix360 and dual gun Nexus120 fast chargers with advertising displays at REI Expo
Servotech Renewable Power System Limited unveiled two commercial fast chargers at the Renewable Energy India Expo 2026. The Dynamix360 is a 360 kW split type DC fast charger with a central power stack serving up to four dispensers, each with a 15 inch touchscreen and IP65 rating. The Nexus120 is a dual gun smart charger with a 43 inch LED display and IP55 rating. Both models feature integrated digital displays designed for advertising in commercial locations such as business parks and shopping malls.
Why it matters
The addition of advertising displays to high power chargers creates a new revenue stream for CPOs deploying in high footfall commercial sites, potentially improving project economics. The Dynamix360's power sharing architecture across four dispensers offers flexible capacity deployment for operators planning large commercial installations.
